When we are young we are
fearless but when we are old it
is a challenge just to stay alive.

Age is not a particularly
interesting subject because
anyone can get old, all you
have to do is live long enough.

Life is an amazing journey and
you alone are responsible for
the quality of it so guard well
that treasure kindness and know
how to give it without hesitation,
how to use it without regret, how
to acquire it without meanness.

Some days are just bad days,
that's all, so know that you have
to experience sadness to know
happiness.

I hope everyone reading my words
is having a really good day, and if
you aren't, just know that in every
new minute that passes you have
the opportunity to change that
and if you have enemies, it means
you have stood up for something
sometime in your life and the
gift is yours.
